September is National Food Safety Education Month, a time to raise awareness about the importance of safe food handling and the everyday steps we can all take to help prevent foodborne illness.
Each year, about 48 million Americans get sick from foodborne illness, resulting in an estimated 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths. While these numbers are significant, simple, consistent food safety habits can help reduce these risks. Proper handwashing, cleaning and sanitizing surfaces, preventing cross-contamination, and safely handling and storing food are all important steps in keeping food safe.
